<p>There is only recourse if you had insurance on the package. I always put insurance on any package! IT is well worth it! I have never had a package turn up missing or damaged when I had insurance on it, but IF there were NO insurance on it, I have a lot of challenges with the packages turn up missing and damaged! So now everything over $5.00 gets insurance!!! Saves stress in the long run!!! I wish you luck, Another suggestion, I always put a protective wrapping over the item inside of the…</p>
<p>There is only recourse if you had insurance on the package. I always put insurance on any package! IT is well worth it!

So now everything over $5.00 gets insurance!!! Saves stress in the long run!!! I wish you luck, Another suggestion, I always put a protective wrapping over the item inside of the box. On that protective wrapping I then tape a Shipping label so that way if the item gets seperated from the box, they still should be able to find where the item goes to. (*The label on the inside protective wrapping I put clear packing tape over it so it is harder to damage or lose that packing label)</p>

<p>I am so sorry you lost the merchandise and the corresponding money! I hope something will come up that will even out the situation for you! </p>
<p>Namaste</p> agreed!

I didn't get any additional insurance as this shipment already cost a huge bundle to send, and I would have been loosing money if I'd done that...I guess it was a risk a decided to take and I should lie in my bed, but urgh, it's annoying. Shipping is so costly (prices just went up again!) that it makes independent publishing a nightmare here. I agree Dan, I swear Canada Customs has a thing for zines - they have also waged war on queer content in the past, calling it porn and confiscating…

I swear Canadian customs fucks with zines on purpose. I've had all kinds of problems sending quantities of zines there. Individual zines, no problem, but a box of zines is always going to get tied up for weeks in shipping, arrive having been opened, have the box beat to hell or disappear altogether.

I hate to ask but did you insure the package? I don't actually know what kind of options Canada Post has but I think the USPS basically says you're out of luck if you don't buy the insurance.<br />
<br />
However, when they destroy a package like that it's usually accompanied by a form letter offering their sincerest apologies...
